KARA’s POV
I slipped my arms around Joey and snuggled close to him, inhaling his sweet scent. He was working on his laptop.

"Baby, you're distracting me," he said to me.

"You've been working all day and you come home to work too?"

"I just have extra work today. I'm sorry baby," he continued without looking at me.

I hated this feeling. Of being starved of his attention even while he was right beside me.

Ugh. It sucked so bad.

I withdrew from him and straightened my night gown.

"I'd be in the sitting room watching some television. You can join me when you're done,"

"Okay," he smiled at me a little before turning his head back to the screen.

Walking over to the living room, I found Julian already sitting there.

He looked up at me."What are you doing here?"

"I wanna watch some TV," I announced plopping on the sofa while grabbing the remote. He held my hand as quick as I took it.

"Who says you can change the channel?"

"Who says I can't?" I asked back.

"You saw me here first," he took the remote away from me. He had succeeded in having the upper hand. I wasn't gonna give up. I reached out for it but he drew it higher.

"Would you give it to me, you jerk!" I hit him on the chest, my face twisted in a frown, frustrated that I could not reach it.

"Or what?" He smirked. "Besides, you should get off me. Is this another excuse to touch me?"

I hastily pulled away from him and folded my arms. "You win. But only this time,"

He chuckled and kept silent.

Okay, the movie was turning out to be a great one. But I was not going to admit that obviously.

I looked at how serious he was watching the movie. Okay, he had great taste for movies. We watched it together till it was over and I hastily grabbed the remote.

"My turn now," I said as I changed the channel.

"It better be something I can watch."

It was a Mexican series I loved and he seemed to like it too since he didn't whine or complain about it.

Ten minutes later, his phone rang and he excused himself.

I continued watching the movie by myself but then I started dozing off just five minutes after. It was boring to watch alone so I switched off the Tv, turned off the lights and decided to retire for the bed room.

While I passed by Julian's room, my ears heard some strange sounds and I just couldn't walk past.

I knew it was bad eavesdropping but anyway it was my husband's house! As well as mine.

I put my ears to the door and listened in.

My eyes widened at what I was hearing.

I could hear him grunt and moan.

Christ. Why did he sound so sexy?

And then he was talking really dirty.

The hell? Was there a girl in there? And how did she get in?

Only then did it occur to me that he might have been having phone sex or something of that sort. Probably with his fiancèe. Or maybe some other random girl, I couldn't tell.

Wow. I suddenly felt weird about it and had to force my feet out of there.

I got into my bedroom and found Joey sleeping, with a light wheeze.

Oh my. He said he was gonna come join me in the living room but there he was, sleeping his ass off.

I reached out and touched his face before climbing into the bed besides him.

I had been sleepy a while ago but after what I had just heard, I couldn't sleep a wink.

I just lay there thinking.

: JULIAN'S POV

Kara's eyes lingered on me longer than usual while she prepared the table the following morning.

I could already feel she was staring so I jerked my head up suddenly from my phone to confirm.

"What? You saw me in your dreams last night or what?" I asked her.

"Then it would have been a nightmare." She replied dryly as she arranged the silverware.

I gave a lopsided smile.

"Okay, sharp tongue. Did you have a good sleep last night?"

"Uh huh. I was right besides my husband. I'm wondering if you got any at all though."

I raised a brow. "What does that mean?"

"Oh nothing," she shrugged.

She definitely knew something so I stood up from my chair, walking over to where she stood.

I touched the tip of her hair and asked,"You're dying to say something. Its written all over you,"

My eyes were fixed on her and she blinked twice.

"Well um.." She cleared her throat. "I may or may not have heard some sounds last night. Wasn't eavesdropping or anything. Your voice is just too loud and pretty deep too.Next time, keep it down?"

She tore her eyes away from me while dishing breakfast on the plates.

I paused for a second to think and it suddenly hit me what she meant.

It must have been the time I was talking to Mandy over the phone. It started as a normal phone call but things got a little steamy at the end.

The ones you didn't plan for always end up better after all.

I grinned at her. "Did it make you uncomfortable?"

"Shouldn't it? This is not your house,"

Annoying ass. It was my brother's house for fucks sakes. She didn't need to remind me about it all the fucking time.

"It shouldn't," I told her. "Its your husband's house yeah? That means you had your husband by your side am I right?"

She kept silent and then said,"Julian go sit down. You're standing too close to me."

I edged closer and I observed her suck in her breath. "Why? Are you affected?"

She raised her ring finger in front of my face. "I'm a married woman, kindly back off?"

"Relax. I have a fiancèe too."

"I hope she was the one you were conversing with last night though,"

"What does it matter to you?"
